This singular building is placed in Gran de Gracia 51. This street is the most important street in Gracia. The building is a block of flats. The first floor is probably the most important floor in this building because It has a bay balcony closed with windows and seven pillars. The front is made of stone. All the floors has got one balcony made with forged iron. In this building we can see that decoration of the floors disappear as the floors rise because the most expensive floors were the first and the second and the highest were the cheapest. The reason of the first and the second floor were the most expensive and It had big balconies with big windows was because the people who lived there used to go to the balcony and read some books and the people who walked on the street saw them and thought that they were very rich. And also there were no lifts.
